"For my one year anniversary collection, I'm loving the new shapes and, as well as including my signature soft colours, I've experimented with a darker, richer palette, perfect for the autumn season," commented Huntington-Whiteley.

When
Rosie for Autograph
launched in 2012, it became the British retailer's fastest-selling collection of lingerie to date, and the partnership shows no sign of tailing off.

"I can't quite believe it's been a whole year since the Rosie for Autograph launch, it's gone so fast!" said the 26-year-old, who resides in Los Angeles.

Teaming up with M&S's head of lingerie design, Soozie Jenkinson, the collection features black silk kimonos and chemises adorned with violet-coloured flower prints, and lingerie sets in muted purple.

"We took influence from the natural glamour and romanticism of the pre-Raphelites for this new collection, the richness of nature combined with the ethereal spirit of the art movement influenced both our colour palette and the hand painted rose bloom artwork" explains Jenkinson.

Huntington-Whiteley follows in the creative footsteps of fellow models Elle Macpherson, Gisele Bundchen, Bar Refaeli and Helena Christensen in branching out into the lucrative lingerie world.

As well as collecting vintage lingerie from her travels, Plymouth-born Rosie modelled underwear for Victoria's Secret and Monsoon. She is currently diversifying into the world of acting, and is set to grace screens next year in
Mad Max: Fury Road.
